What You Need to Know about Our Environmental Commitment

Posted: August 21, 2015

Last July, Environmental Initiative—a nonprofit based in Minnesota—hailed Andersen Corporation “Member of the Month” in recognition of its successful efforts in providing nature-friendly products and services to homeowners.

Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento is proud to be part of the corporation’s replacement window division. Here are some of our own ways of keeping up with Andersen’s green and sustainable tradition:

Reclaimed Materials

As we care deeply about the environment, we make sure that we create as little impact on it as possible. Our windows are made from reclaimed materials, for example. Our frames contain 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight, while our standard glass features at least 12% reclaimed glass by weight. These materials feature great durability, as well. When you install our double hung windows in Sacramento, you can be sure these will perform excellently for years to come.

Indoor Air Quality

We’re well aware that much of our exposure to toxic substances occurs inside the house. Gas emission from building products is a serious health and environmental risk and we do not take it lightly. The Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) has verified that Renewal by Andersen windows have met the strictest indoor air emission standards in the country. When you install these units, you can be sure that safe, clean air is all you’re taking in.

Energy Efficiency

Ballooning energy consumption is a growing concern among homeowners and nature lovers alike. As a trusted company for windows in Sacramento, CA, we have taken it upon ourselves to address it. Our replacement windows can let you save up to 25% on total energy costs. Thanks to the great insulating properties of our Fibrex® frames and the low-emissivity coatings of our Low-E4® glass choices, our units can significantly help with heating, cooling, and overall comfort at home.

It feels great to be part of the green movement. When you hire us for your window products, we’ll see to it that this rewarding feeling trickles down to you.
